My father just gave me a six-shooter to have repaired.He bought it from a farmer when he was 19 years old which was about 40 years ago.On the left side of the barrel it says HY Hunter INC. Firearms MFG. CO Hollywood, California Made in Western Germany On the right side of the barrel is written:Frontier Six-Shooter Model .22 S.L.LR. Caliber.It's certainly not in collector condition because my father and his brothers would use it quite a bit to shoot behind their barn as kids.I'm guessing it might be one of the Sears/Roebuck or Montgomery Ward guns?I'm just wondering if someone knows more about this gun?

I just took it apart and found that the problem was the hammer spring was disconnected.I put it back and it seems to function just fine.Does anyone know how these things shoot?I'm gonna get a box of ammo and test it out tomorrow to make sure it functions fine before I give it back to my dad.The plastic stag grips are also cracked a little and wondered if the AJAX grips would fit on it.

Sam's got it. They were built by J.P. Sauer & Sons. This company was bought out by Sig (they're the Sauer in Sig Sauer).
these were an inexpensive single action and were sold under several names. There was both a large frame and a small frame version. The large frame version fired the usual centerfire single action calibers and the small frame variant fired .22lr or .38 Spec centerfire cartridges
I grew up shooting one also. It's sitting in the safe now.

I think SIG (Swiss Co.) made a deal with Sauer (German Co.) because Switzerland has something against exporting weapons or some such while Germany does not.

It may be that SIG eventually bought out Sauer, too?? But I think the stiffness of Swiss law or regulation was the original reason.

Sauer made a real nice bolt rifle, too.
